"Get Blappsteined"

Release Date: December 30, 2025
Hosts: TopLobsta & Raven (David Corbeau)
Main Theme:
Dissecting conspiracy culture, with a focus on the fresh Epstein file releases and their impact, through a Biblical and community-oriented lens. The episode also explores the dangers of distraction by “golden apple” conspiracies, practical charity work, and how Christian focus is maintained in the age of media chaos.

EPISODE OVERVIEW

Raven and the NDS crew open 2025 in their unique blend of irreverence, earnestness, and conspiracy commentary. This episode centers on the recent release of Epstein files, but moves fluidly between topics: the psychological and spiritual implications of obsessions with such conspiracies, their “food pantry” charity project, community engagement, and voice memos from fans. Throughout, there’s a consistent Biblical undercurrent about not letting the world’s chaos distract from Christ.

KEY DISCUSSION POINTS & TIMESTAMPS

1. Community Building & Food Pantry Project

• [06:20 – 15:24]
  • Raven describes NDS’s attempt to do something tangibly good—a food pantry at the coffee shop/studio/casino.
  • They debate logistics: Is a pile of food “for the spectacle/fun,” or should they use gift cards for practicality? Is it self-serving, or genuinely about helping people?
  • They invite Patreon and community feedback, and stress they want the project to point people towards God and the Christian library at their coffee shop.
  • Quote:
    • "What is more practical? Is Publix gift cards more practical? But doesn't that kind of take away the fun of it? But then, is that the point... Or is the point to feed people?" —Raven [10:41]
  • Notable Moment: Raven’s openness about selfish vs. practical motives and desire for the project to foster both community and spiritual outreach.

2. The Golden Apple – Conspiracies as Distraction

• [17:24 – 30:52, revisited throughout]
  • Metaphor from Greek myth: conspiracies as “golden apples” thrown into our path to distract and consume spiritual attention.
  • Epstein and similar stories are likened to these golden apples—"bonking" (fixating on) them blocks progress on the narrow path to God.
  • Quote:
    • "Your attention on this small problem causes it to grow... until it's a monster that literally blocks your path... like, let's say, Epstein... you're bonking that apple, bonking that apple. Look at Epstein... What is it doing? It's blocking your path." —Raven [20:11]
  • Quote:
    • "Yeah, call out the apple, but keep it moving." —Raven [22:50]

3. Epstein Files: Media Release, Reactions, and Cynicism

• [32:53 – 52:04, 79:18 – 81:34]
  • BBC article and mainstream coverage are picked apart; hosts are deeply skeptical of both the integrity and motives of the releases.
  • The files are heavily redacted; politicians on both sides weaponize the revelations.
  • The hosts mock how coverage quickly becomes partisan bickering, not sincere investigation.
  • Quote:
    • "They're gonna turn this into a party line thing, huh?" —Raven [36:08]
  • Quote:
    • "It's just a big ol’ loosh fest. They're just milking us." —Raven [46:23]
  • Notable Moment: Discussion of how AI and media manipulation have eroded all trust in evidence, making "the only thing that gets you through this is Holy Spirit."
  • Quote:
    • "We're waist deep in it right now with fake images, fake videos... The only thing that means anything is... discernment." —Raven [52:27]

4. The Metaphysics of Distraction & Desensitization

• [46:10 – 52:04, 52:04 – 64:11]
  • The crew suspects “conspiracy fatigue” or “edging”: sustained, unfulfilled tension exhausts the audience until no one cares, even if/when real disclosures happen.
  • The only refuge is spiritual focus and not letting golden apples cause permanent distraction.
  • Compare this psychological operation to “alien disclosure” — slow drip, perpetual outrage fatigue.

5. Abuse in Hollywood: AI Video & Nickelodeon Scandal

• [64:11 – 79:18]
  • Discussion of an AI video showing Epstein super-imposed into famous pop culture and Hollywood sets, used as metaphor for the spirit of abuse in entertainment.
  • The Nickelodeon “Quiet on the Set” documentary is referenced; the conversation mourns the spiritual cost to child stars.
  • Hosts rage at the depravity—and hypocrisy—of both abused and abuser cycles in entertainment, and call out excuses for bad behavior.
  • Memorable Riff: “Jackie Chan never f***ed those kids. Jackie Chan wouldn’t.” [75:45]
  • Quote:
    • "Hurt people don't have to hurt people, to be fair." —Emily (chat contribution) [68:39]
    • "There is a spirit that moves through Hollywood, and it's been doing it. It's an open secret." —Raven [76:55]

6. Voice Memos – Listeners Reflect & Reaffirm the Theme

• [92:33 – 152:41]
  • Strong affirmation from listeners around the futility of obsession with evil, urging “concentrate on your walk with Jesus Christ.” [93:03] —Dave from Indiana
  • Listeners share stories of family trauma and spiritual warfare (Asmodeus), making the case that spiritual evil is real but crushed by Christ’s sacrifice.
  • Quote:
    • “We live in the world that is run by Satan... It doesn’t actually matter. What matters is your relationship with God.” —Listener [99:41]
  • Raven repeatedly affirms these are the true takeaways: Knowledge is fine, but orientation must be toward Christ and not just collecting “conspiracy backpacks.”

7. General Banter, Welding, Gaming, and Relatability

• [23:50 – 31:52]
  • Raven receives a welder for Christmas, offers practical welding advice (“Welding is incredibly easy. It’s not hard, man, look.” [28:01]), relates it to hands-on learning, real-world skills, and community togetherness.
  • Quick tangents into video games, nostalgia, and snacks all pepper the show with relatability and warmth.

NOTABLE QUOTES

• On the futility of outrage and distraction:
  • “AI is to the point where it just doesn’t f***ing matter anymore... We’re probably waist deep in it right now with fake images, fake videos, fake audio files, you name it. The only thing that's going to get you through this is Holy Spirit.” —Raven [52:04]
• On doing good as a Christian community:
  • “You come in here and you go, what the heck's going on outside?... This is about God, dude. This is about loving on people. That’s what this is about.” —Raven [13:20]
• On the Epstein story:
  • “This is the apple. This is a great example of the golden apple.” —Raven [34:51]

STRUCTURAL TIMELINE

| Topic | Start | End | |----------------------------------------------------|------------|---------| | Coffee shop, community, food pantry project | 03:40 | 15:24 | | Golden apple/metaphor + intro to Epstein | 17:24 | 32:53 | | Reading/analyzing BBC Epstein article | 32:53 | 52:04 | | Media/culture/AI trust crisis | 52:04 | 64:11 | | Hollywood, Nickelodeon, abuse/AI collage | 64:11 | 79:18 | | Epstein, pop stars, and the spiritual battle | 79:18 | 88:33 | | Voice memos: faith, trauma, personal stories | 92:33 | 152:41 |

MEMORABLE MOMENTS

• Raven riffs on Jackie Chan as “the only star not implicated in the darkness.” [75:45]
• "Hurt people don't have to hurt people" – chat interactivity blends seamlessly with content.
• Comparisons of children's lunchboxes get comically out of hand, lightening up heavy topics. [132:00]
• Sincere listener voice memos become a moving coda for the episode, focusing all on spiritual priorities. [93:03-119:54]

TONE

• Irreverent, comedic, and at times caustically honest—never letting the darkness of topics swamp the hope or the humor.
• Undercurrent of real spiritual concern: the need to filter mass culture and conspiracies through faith, not outrage.

SUMMARY FOR THE UNINITIATED

This episode is less a static review of “what’s in the Epstein files” and more a meditation on why our culture obsesses over such conspiracies, how that obsession is spiritually and psychologically weaponized, and what alternative (Christ-oriented) living can look like—even for a colorful, conspiratorial community.

Ultimately, the hosts advocate for a joyful, practical Christian life that helps others, builds local relationships, and refuses to get bogged down in endless, spiritually sterile “apple bonking.”
Don’t miss: Topic jumping, sharp skepticism of media, warmth toward listeners’ real spiritual struggles, and the recurring call to get off the doom treadmill and focus on walking with Christ.
